advice
See, I think I have OCD, and it really bugs me. It's starting to interfere with alot of things. Like when I pray at night, I feel the need to repeat some lines several times, and I always have to have my TV remote facing a certain way exactly, and all this other stuff, it's really bugging me, I have talked to my parents about it before but they don't really seem to get how much it interferes with my life, because most of the stuff I do is behind their back, like rearranging stuff and whatnot...
What I want to know is do any of you have OCD and what are some of your symptoms (if you feel comfortable sharing)? And where did you go to get tested for it, if you're undergoing treatment what kind and is it helping? Thanks so much if you help, I will rate if it's good advice!
Thx

Sorry I wasn't a big help with this one. best of luck babe!!!
okay i know this is nasty- but you know how when you work out, etc, sweating makes you loose calories or w/e? Well just say you work out for a long long time, and sweat alot, and you don't get home for awhile and so you cant take a shower and wash the sweat off of your body, so the sweat like sinks back into you kinda or it dries up or w/e.. ew i know gross, but does that mean you dont loose any weight cause the sweat just went back into ur body?? [gross i know]
nope! as long as you did the workout the correct way..your gonna lose the weight! whether or not you wash :)

lol I wouldn't suggest just coming out and saying "your stupid". Tryi hinting at it.. Like "oh, I see you failed tha test..I need to do some extra studying with me..wanna come?" or something like that to help engage them with the idea!
im 15 and well honstly ive only made out with 3 guys, and thats all ive ever sexually done... ive never "masterbated" whatever that means or anything like that but my bf keeps trying to finger me and stuff! if i let him do it..is it gonna hurt? can my "cherry" pop? is it gonna feel really bad? and if i let him do it will i be labled a slut? (me and my bf have been together 10-11 months now) anything?
It just all depends on if he's cautious and gentle with you since you haven't done anything like this before. But if he isn't...yeah...your gonna feel some pain.
And no..if this is your boyfriend..and you have been together for that long..then there is no reason for you to be labeled as a slut.
ok i love my boyfriend and everything but whenever well be on the phone and hell have to eat or something,..hell say ill call you back in like 20 minutes...and hell be like i love you so much ill talk to you in 20mins babe i love you...but then hell acll me back in like TWO HOURS!! i talked to hmi about it earlier tonite and hes like well stuff comes up i either have to leave w/ my parents or have to do chores or something and then hes doing it again right now!!....hes not getting the hint!!! what can i do??
sorry to say..but stuff does come up! I find myself telling people the same thing. Maybe he just forgets to call you back...try calling him.
well, one day i looked in the mirror and saw my reflection and i thought i loooked like a whale! I wanted to fucken disappear..im so self conscious. and i all of a sudden started eating then throwing it up, i mean today i ate popcorn then went to wash my hands and i saw myself..and i just hated it so i threw up in the toilet like i made myself throw up! and i dont know whats wrong with me..does that mean i have an eating disorder?

im a freshman n lately ive been talking to one of my friends brothers thats a junior at my school. my friend has told his brother that he wasnt allowed to talk to me cause i was his friend...and yeah. so im between 2 great guys here n i don kno what to do. so my friends brother invited me over to teach me how to play the drums n to jus chill...but what would my friend think? i wanna have them both as friends but will that ever work out? (i'll rate)
talk to your friend. Find out the reason why your "off limits" If it sounds reasonable it might help you decide what to do from there!
I wrote a question about the guy i saw a while ago and got many great anwsers... alright I went to see him and he gentally grabbed my hand and started rubbing my thumb you know how they do that when you holding hands, we layed down a watched a movie. We were just cuddling. When the movie was over I went out into the living room and he came out there and started talking to me... he told me that he really never meant to hurt me and he will never do it again. I was scared when he told me he loved me and didn't say it back.. he told me to call him but I am too scared. Should I call him and if I do what do I talk to him about.. I need advice before I pick up the phone and dial his number... please help I can honestly say I love this guy... do you think he loves me?
if you honestly love him, and you feel that he loves you then call him. Im not sure how it got to this point or what he did before...but you have to take a chance sometimes. call em!
Ok, I like someone and they are a senior in high school. I know that we will never be together, but I can't help getting that funny feeling in my stomach whenever I am around them. Whenever they talk to me I feel like I am on top of the world. I don't want that feeling to go away. When I see them with someone else, I get jealous and I don't like being like that. What should I do?
Look at it this way...you have nothing to loose. You already dont have this person, and if he/she says no..you still wont have em..The only way you can go is up!
so talk! tell em how you feel
Ok thre is this guy that i like but he is 18 know and i am 15. And i just found out that his girlfriend is prenget and i like him really bad. but i have know him for since i was little cause he and my uncle were good friends. We use to party together but that was the old days. And i don't know if i should tell him bow i fell. But i hope some one can help me. Michy
if you have REALLY strong feeling for this guy, then I would tell him. But other then that think about it...he's 18, with a girlfriend thats pregnant. I think you should think about it some more..then handle it whatever way you think is best
Hey, im 16f and am really interested in becoming a personal trainer, could anyone give me any tips or advice on which route would b the best 2 take and wether its a good job? thanx
I think it is a great job. And witha ll these people trying to get fit..you will really come in handy. Read up about the educational demands and things. Like the courses in college and stuff about the body.
OK, I was in this sort of relationship, b ut I never went out with this guy, but anyway, my friend who I wasnt' friends with at the time ( I was mad at her) told my worst enemy about this problem. And I'm really mad cuz I don't want her to know. I mean my enemy won't tell anyone but, I am really mad! Should I confront my friend and ask if she told my enemy or what? Please help!
If its bothering you this much then I think it will be worth it to confront her about it. Just tell she had no right to spread you business around, and especially to someone you dont even like! speak your mind!
Okay maybe i'm just over-reacting, but, me and my boyfriend have just recently become sexually active, and we had sex the first time without a condom, i know i know bad decisio, but it wasn't hardcore sex.. it was a put it in take it out kind of thing. Like an experiment. But non-the-less, it wasn't protected. But we've had sex about 3 or 4 times since then, in the last 3 months. I had my period after the first time we had sex, and I know for a fact none of the other condoms have broke. But, for some reason, I haven't had my period in over a month, going on two! I've taken two pregnancy tests and they both said i wasn't pregnant, but i just cant' shake this feeling that I am!! Why haven't I had my period!? I know this is long, but I really need advice. Please help!
The home tests aren't always accurate. If your scared to tell your mom, or go to your doctor, go to the clinic to get tested. The sooner you know the better you'll feel..
Now next time you have sex without a condom..i bet you'll remember this ;)
I am 14 and a freshen in high school. I live in a small town where girls have been friends since they first started school and they dont really like to hang out with anybody but their crew. The popular girls share a lot of the same interests as I do and I really want to become friends with them but they seem as if they could care less. Most guys say I am wicked hot and thats what I though it took to become popular.I want to know how to become close friends with the popular girls also want to know how to become popular.
Sincerly,
Danigurl
First off. Dont worry about "becoming popular" Worry about being yourself! If they share a lot of the same interests as you, then it shouldn't be that hard. Just strick up a convo with them or something. But focusing on becoming popular will just mess with your head. Think about it. Who judges to see if people are popular anyway. Just people. They are all just people.
I use to worry about that to. And im just now kinda finding out that I am. It wasn't like I was trying. I just developed a lot of friends. It all starts with a convo!
Does anybody know what to do about pores? I have pores that show all over my face. If you know what to do, advice would be nice. Thanks.
You should try seeing a dermatologist. Large pores are sometimes large because of over production of oils and stuff in your skin. Trying a facial cleanser or something might help with that!
